Yeah, I saw that as well. Your right to take a hard line on that, its the only thing EA understands - money. Ive got it pre ordered. If I cant play with people I know, then I dont see it being very long lasting. If thats the case, will test the Origin "satisfaction guarantee" refund. Still going to give it a go.

Maybe with the financial turd titan fall, and then hardline were, hopefully the threat of a third loss in a row might knock some sense into them? time will tell soon enough.
